Proxmox earns most of its money by giving proffessional support.

If this is your concern, then you can buy support directly from Proxmox, just like you could from VMWare. So if i ever where to leave the company, and there’s noone with my skillset (which i think is terrible management, having your company depend on the skills of one person). My boss can sleep just as calmly as before, knowing we pay Proxmox for support.

I learned something new! So thank you. I didn’t know any of this. And every once in a while i’ll watch a DT video, and i dont think they are bad. And i dont hate DT :)

I know plenty of Windows admins who still dont use Powershell as much as they could/should. Which i think is odd, since Powershell is so much better, but i suppose its not easy to change old ways :)

I’m a member of several Windows forums… there’s just as much complaining there :-)

Exactly! :)

I manage macOS, Linux AND Windows. In the end, they’re all the same. Its software that needs management.

I comfort myself with the idea that it must be harder to lose a child. I suppose that will have to be enough :(

I suppose thats the difference between Windows admins and Linux admins. Windows admins are used to click their way though things with fancy gui’s and wizards :)

I’ve been using Proxmox professionally for years now, and not once did i have s problem i could not fix myself. But i’m used to solve problems myself by “digging in deep”. Ofcourse it helps that i’ve been using Linux (mostly Debian) since 1996. There are plenty of guides around to teach how Debian works. Windows admin’s who make the switch just need to take the time to read them, watch the video’s, do the research.

The only skills we where born with are the basic survival skills. Everything else is learned along the way. So was using Windows, and so is using Linux.

But thats just my opinion :)

They died. At very crucial points in my life. My dad 4 years ago, i mom 1.5 months ago.

Its litterally the worst thing they ever did.
